PAGE 24 BRISTOL COURIER and LEVITTOWN TIMES THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1964 Levittown Little League Express Train By JOHN RIBAR Courier-Times Sports Writer Tho Levittown American Express train, on its way to the Little League state championship. was derailed last evening at Conshohocken. It was the end of the line for manager Bernie youngsters as the Levittowners were eliminated in a semifinal district game, 13-fi. by Northeast Optimists at Conshohocken Little I.eague Field. Whereas the Americans, who won the District 21 champion-, hip, were eliminated from furth- eT play, Northeast (District 22) will get a chance to cop the UiOtliUt iltiC CilC HiAO Saturday at Chester.

The Americans made a game of it and would have had an opportunity to snag a win if their pitching could have held up. Manager Seighman used four moundsmen, the previous evening three others saw service. Levittown did as well al the plate as did winners, each getting nine safeties. The Americans notched five extra-base hits against only three for the Optimists, but the latter made their hits count. In fact, two rrnnH fnr cotrnn Three American two-baggers, credited to Rusty Smith, Lon McAllister and Don Everett, drive in a single run.

Two lusty home runs found only one man on base. About the only consolation for the Americans yesterday was that they cracked the defensive armour of the Optimists. In the five previous playoff games prior to meeting the Levittowners, Northeast reeled-off five cutive shutouts, 2-0, 3-0, 8-0, 8-0 and 1-0. Jim Brady, the first American in the df-ntpd thp plate in the opening inning after advancing to third on double. Brady scooted over on a short passed ball but Smith was caught off base on the play.

Jim Crossin slammed a home- run over the scoreboard in dead center and the Americans had a 2-0 lead. Ricky Strandberg, starting pitcher Levittown, got through the first two innings giving up one hit, a homer, for the lone run. He nipped a batter in the first, and walked one after the homer by Joe Charon- tona in thp Pitching Change But the American pitcher, who has been hampered with a cold in his shoulder, ran into trouble in the third. Following a walk and a single, Lee Paolino, Optimist hurler blooped one into left center that just barely cleared the low fence but it was good for a three-run homer. Harry replaced Ricky at this point.

got three out with- out any more scoring, but he ran into trouble in the next frame. An error at third put thp first hattpr then a walk and single filled the sacks with none out. Bob Brancato rolled to second but McAllister made a nice pickup and a fine throw home for a force at the plate. short hit scored one run (his fourth RBI). Tom Pippet, a lefty at the plate, slashed a line drive over third base into the left field pocket foi a triple and a bad throw allowed him to score too.

This brought Roger Ciccone in as the third American pitcher. The new moundsman struck- out the next two batters but Levittown trailed The Americans give up and came right back with a rally in part of the fourth that knocked the classy Paolino out of the box. Rally For Four Crossin opened with a walk. Ricky Page lost no time and lifted a drive far over the left field fence.
